Pre-season friendlies.
Castleford announced pre-season fixtures against Sheffield Eagles, Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC, with each serving as a testimonial match for Quentin Laulu-Togaga'e, Luke Gale and Joe Westerman respectively. In January, the squad headed for a week-long training camp in Spain, which included a reduced-contact exhibition match against local club Valencia Huracanes in Tavernes de la Valldigna on 18 January. Played across four 20-minute quarters, the game saw some Castleford players swapping sides to supplement the Valencia team, while one travelling fan won the opportunity to play for the Tigers. Castleford won the match 50–8.
